Keukasmallie Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Ya gotta just love the comment above indicating that Mayfield is "...built like a running back from the waste down."

Your counters provide no more evidence than my posts. I watched both QBs a lot. Time will tell who is right. I know many on this board love Mayfield. I like his passion a lot. I just don't think he will be a good NFL QB. I hope I'm wrong but I don't think I will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batman1876 Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 19 minutes ago, Chicken Boo said: So let me get this straight, Baker Mayfield fans. Manziel compariaons are "lazy", yet all of you will be quick to compare him to Russell Wilson or Drew Brees based strictly on his height. I'm enjoying the backflips you all are performing to excuse his behavioral flaws...and height. People point to those QBs as examples of how short QBs with talent can succeed in different ways. As for the Manziel comparisons being lazy see if you can spot the difference. Baker- Got Drunk and (poorly) attempted to run from police. Goes too far taunting the other team, crotch grab, flag plant, throwing a football at them. Johnny Football- Arrested for fighting and having a fake id, Kicked out of frat party for underage drinking and behavior with multiple video's surfacing, Kicked out of manning passing academy, tweeted about wanting to leave A&M as soon as possible, violated NCAA rules by selling autographs, got drunk and passed out on an inflatable swan, parents publicly stated they were concerned he would not be able to handle stardom. Baker- One time mistake with police, needs to better direct his competitive fire. Manziel- History of alcohol abuse, evidence that he puts his desire to drink ahead of rules and football, his own parents are concerned about him. So yes its lazy because the heart of Manziel's problems were his addiction, he was an addict in college, and it tanked him in the NFL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will-GM-for-food Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Has there been any word about the Cardinals trading up? With Bradford on only a one year deal they definitely need to get a guy this year. Them and Miami could be wildcards. I think Mayfield is the most likely (out of him/Rosen/Allen/Darnold) to last past the top 5 if Denver is out of the QB market, so we may have to leapfrog Miami and hope Arizona doesn't blindside us first.

Pete Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 I have thought Baker is the Bills target at QB for awhile. Just conjecture, but IMO the Bills love Darnold and Baker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldTimer1960 Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 1 hour ago, Tyrod's friend said: Maybe; but it will be a mistake they can afford to make. They'll get Barkley three picks later and taking the "safe" QB first overall would be the percentage play. No matter what, with everything else they've accumulated and will accumulate in this draft, they will become the Seattle Seahawks for the next five years. Darnold won't help them remendously, but he won't hurt them either. But the Jets? Get ready to face Baker Mayfield twice a year for the next 10 years. That man's swagger was meant for bright lights. Maybe I am missing the point, but are you saying that you think that Darnold will be a good starting QB, but he won't help Cleveland much by just being good? Are you saying that only a HOF-level QB can really help a team, unless the team is stacked around a lesser QB? If yes, then I agree that you need more than a good QB. You need talent around almost any QB to succeed. Can an all-time great like Brady, Rodgers, Brees, Montana lift the players around him to heights that they couldn't achieve otherwise? Yes, but those all-time great QBs are VERY rare. To make a team building plan dependent on getting an all-time great HOF QB is not very realistic. Sure, you can *hope* that you find an all-time great, but you need to have a plan to succeed with a merely good QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure why but I'm having a hard time putting any faith into Jeremy White's "sabres guy." If anything that would be them admitting defeat and saying they would take him if that's all that's left if they can't trade up to the top 5. Or a smoke screen to get Allen or Rosen to fall. I like Mayfield and think he can be very good but I don't think anyone at the top "covets" him when there are other better built QB's with more natural talent. Maybe they like his attitude and his commitment. It fits their underdog mentality. But they would only take him if that's all that's left imo I don’t get why people say things like this are a “smokescreen” to get other QBs to fall. That doesn’t make sense, it’s not like the teams in front of us are going to pick a different QB because of who we want at 12. And it’s not like they pick a second time right behind us and want to take a 2nd QB, so Bills need to influence their decision in front of us. I mean who we covet at 12 has no impact on the teams in front of us when they are on the clock. Now that being said, “sources” have said we cover all of the top 6 QBs essentially now. So none of this means anything in this tweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billspro Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 I would not be surprised. He is a senior, has a passion for the game, has a huge arm, and is accurate. He has every trait the Bills are looking for except size. You won't check all the boxes unless you have the first overall pick though. Mayfield will fit in great in Buffalo. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
